Album Notes

Here are what the reviewers had to say about Little Birdie's Cinematic Way:

From the Montreal Mirror:

"In case you didn't already know, Little Birdie are one of the many bands emerging out of the vibrant Montreal alt-country scene. They're headed up by chief songwriter Orit Shimoni, a siren singer who merges her songwriting pearls with Barfly stalwarts Lil' Buck. Shimoni's velvet croon grabs you by the heartstrings with tales of destitution, drinking and nursing a broken heart, with Lil Buck proving to be no slouches as the support group. Guitarist Mark Goodwin deserves an extra mention here for delivering a stellar production job."

From Atlantic SeeBreeze:

"Little Birdie is an artist to watch out for, and no doubt about it, she is a star in the making. Atlantic Seabreeze gives the album top ratings, and personally it is one of the top CD's received in a long time to review.

From Soulshine Magazine:

"Cinematic Way, as its name suggests, is highly narrative country music that soars with delightful echoes from songwriter and lead singer Orit Shimoni and her talented musical friends.

Opening with “Everyday I Fasten My Shackles”, it leads the listener through a personal journey of faith and continues on through the album with Shimoni's signature Bob Dylan-esque slurs. A favourite on the album is the fun and jumpy “These Days” which shows Little Birdie at their best. "It's OK" also features a stellar Neil Young-like chorus with Andre Kirchoff on backing vocals.

From Americana Uk:

Montreal Talent With Promising Debut:
"With vocals reminiscent of Neko Case . . . Shimoni stamps her personality all over the record and proves to be a very engaging artist... the album engages from start to finish and should delight anyone."
